THE GREAT SERMON.
It was the custom of the Master to prepare for
the great days of Hislife by spending the night
before in prayer and solitude. The mental and
the spiritual preparation WAS far more than the
physical. He was about to select the twelve
from his disciples who were afterwards known
as the apostles, ami he was to preach the great
sermon that should clearly make known to the
people the truths he came to establish, the doc
tr1nes and laws of the kingdom of heaven.
The disciples undoubtedly met the Lord in
the early morning in some mountain not very
far from Capernaum, at place that he desg-
mated. He probably preached TO this body of
his disciples, lin the mount" the longer SER
given by Matthew. When the people
heard of .he departure of the disciples they fol-
lowed after, and in large numbers gathered in
the plain at the base of the mountain, and there

early in his gospel that he might give the reader
fair and clear idea of the sermons of the great
Teacher. This was simply a characteristic one
